When I came into my office this morning, I found that my boss moved his resin printer into my office and the setup reeks of solvent (it smells like a hundred uncapped expos). Are these fumes fine? Or am I gonna end up with half a melted brain by the end of the week?

There's a datasheet available for your resin, as there is for any volatile product. Print that for your boss and show him the health risks, mostly cancer that he's opening himself up to liability for.

Not to mention that they should have a MSDS sheet for any solvents/chemicals at work anyway.
